Re: [orca-list] Is Linux suitable for non-programmer/computer scientists?



I think Vinux 4, when ever it is released will be a great distro as well.
But yes right now Ubuntu 12.04 is the best.
Happy hacking.

You don't need to use the command line or know a lot of complicated bits to use Linux. It's definitely not just for programmers and computer scientists. This list is about Orca, which is a screen reader for the graphical desktop. Of course, knowing and using the command line opens some things up to you but it's not necessary to use Linux.

I'd suggest starting off with Ubuntu 12.04. You just need to hit the control+s key once you hear the drums. Another option is vinux 3.0.2 or the beta of vinux 4 which is based on Ubuntu and just comes up talking.

Hi All,

I don't post too often but read this list with great interest.

I'm not going to go into my reasons here, but I am beginning to think that my current access solution could be in the process of stagnating.

I would be very sad to say goodbye to it, but the time might come when such a course is necessary.

Reading the list suggests that a great deal of command line knowledge and complicated bits and piece are involved in Linux, even after all of this time. I'm not exactly a command line newbie, but many of you are far more conversant than I am.

Do any of you have any suggestions where I might start if I did decide to jump on the Linux band wagon please? I have been reading a lot about Ubuntu and it seems to be the favourite among many.

Thank you and please feel free to write to me off-list if you prefer.

Take care
James
